WINNIPEG, Man., April 14.-The pro-
vincial legislature opened to-day. Hun
dredS were unable to gain admittance to
the legislative chamber so great was the in
terest taken, as it was thought the Norquay
government would be defeated on the vote
for speaker. The government, however,
at the eleventh hour dropped their candi-
date and D. Glass was chosen unanimously.
The speech from the throne contained the
following clause:
You will be asked to provide the necessary
authority for an appeal to the imperial gov
ernment for relief. should the policy of dis
allowing railway charters to the boundary be
persisted in by the federal government.
One of the first steps in the house was to
introduce bill to incorporate the Manitoba
Central and Winnipeg & Southern railways.
Both are intended tS run south and strike
the border near st. Vincent in opposition
to the Canadian Pacific. The people are
determined to rid themselves of monopoly.

AT the close OF atner Snanley'S S remarks,
Hon. Thomas p. Wilson offered the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, Her majesty's government has
introduced into parliament and passed to a
second reading penal enactment known as
''crimeS amendment BILL designed for en-
forcement in Ireland; and
Whereas, Judged by the abstracts of its
provisions published in the press of the United
States, the proposed enactment is one ut
OF responsible and civilized government, set
ting at naught, as it does, the cOmmoneSt
safeguards of constitutional liberty; and
= Whereas, On the occasion of its introduc
ton the chief secretary for Ireland mimi
tested his incapacity to justify such enact
ment by any exceptional prevalence of crime
in Ireland, while on the contrary it appears
lndIsputable, as pointed out by Rt. Hon. Will
lam l.. Gladstone, that crime is to-day more
prevalent in England III proportion to popu-
lation than it is in Ireland; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we, citizens of the United
States ard of the state of Minnesota, in
mass meeting assembled at st. Paul,
on this 14th day of April, A. ID. 1887 do
hereby protest in the name of free govern
ment and OF common humanity, against the
SubJectlon of the Irish race to any such at
tempt, in this age of enlightenment and
progress, at maintaining the authority of
government by resort to the instrumentali-
ties of barbarism and brute force.
Resolved That, acting in full view of the
characteristics of the Irish race, as exempli-
fed in the conduct of those of them who are
our fellow citizens, their kindliness, their in
dustry, their willing assumption OF all the
duties aud burdens of free citizenship, we
declare il as our unqualified conviction that
the only means by which peace and content
ment can be brought to the fragmenrof the
race winch still continues to occugy their
native land, is by the yielding to them that
boon which they have never relipquished, the;
right of free. national self-governmeut:9ss q

ladies of different nations. The Spanish
women resident in Mexico complain that
these gallantries are not sufficiently pro-
nounced and declare that Mexican men are
cold blooded reptiles, "perfect sticks" in
short, with the very tamest ideas as to max
ing their attentions impressive and accepta-
BILE to ladies; the Mexican women endure the
impertinences an affection, offensive and
lowering their dignity, but one which they
are inpotent to avoid, thanks to the submis-
sive attitude of femininity in the country.
American women in Mexico often do not un-
derstand enough Spanish to know the import
of these speeches, but when they do under
stand it it goes hard with the offender. He
is sure to receive some token of resentment,
if only scowl. Two cases are on record of
irate damsels-one, it goes without saying,
was a strong-minded Bostonian lass-who, in
the might of their righteous indignation at
what they deemed deliberate insult, laid
across the faces of the culprits a succession
of vigorous whacks with parasol. But
perhaps the most effective extinguisher is
that employed by California young lady.
She knows Spanish like native, and when
she hears observations from the dandies di-
reeted toward herself she walks up to the
nearest policeman, points out the delinquent
and says: cit is against the police regula-
tions to permit insult to foreigners. You
will have the goodness to take that man in
charge" And she stays near to see that the
gendarme complies. She has made herself
considerable of terror to the lagartijos, and
the Mexican ladies commend her course, re-
aliZing that such treatment goes far to cor
rect the abuse. Pobres lagartijos their
type must be extinct ere MANY years.

The RECENT yacht Race

The Recent Yacht Race.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
To skim along con the ocean wave," with
dipping spars and in the neighborhood OF
icebergs, is an experience some of us would
willingly dispense with, and even those
dauntless heroes of the Dauntless have had
more than enough of it. Mr.. Colt has had
his "March gales" that he sighed for and
Mr.. Bird of the New York Yacht club his
''experience"-and both remind one of the
story of the wise grandmother's advice to
the young GIRL not to marry at too early an
age, for she had seen the folly of it; to
which the miss pertinently replied that she
also would like to see the folly of it. and
thereat went on her matrimonial way rejoic-
ing. But the point of the little allegory
that might be written about this
Bird and this Colt, with a
very proper moral at the close, is
quite spoiled by their happy escape not only
from the perils of the vastly deep and the
being s'battened down for safe keeping, but
also from the terrible alternative of cham
payne in place of tank water. Unlike what
we are left to conjecture of the fate of the ir-
reverent granddaughter, who has furnished Us
no log book of her 'March gales" or expert
ence"-these adventures have scored sue
cess in their defeat and it is even probable
that for each of them somebody's grand
daughter stands ready to Glove him for the
dangers he has passed" So we will not write
the little allegory that we had intended.

At certain hours OF the day and in certain
portions of the more fashionably frequented
streets, the way is lined with a variety of
sidewalk statues, who for smartness of at
tire and vapidity of countenance will COM
pare not unfavorably with the glorious
American dude. They are known among
the discerning Mexicans-who are masters
of the art of terse and graphic classification
with regard to salient points-as lagartijos
or lizards, from the tenacity with which they
hug the walls along the narrow sidewalks
while they ogle the ladies going to or from
| church on the promenades. These ''hzards"
have an amiable habit of making, with the
utmost composure, in a perfectly audible
voice, highly complimentary observations
concerning such members Of the fair sex as
may be fortunate enough to meet with their
| critical appreciation. HSweetnessi" "What
dear darlingl" 'tHow love you, precious
blonde!" "Come here, pretty thing. and

chivalric modes of address practiced by these

| Also, if they can muster few words OF

ance-at severe penalty, as will be seen.
These amenities are called, in the expressive
language of the country, ''throwing flowers.

habit but rather consider it delicate atten-

[Oliver Wendell Holmes in the March Atlantic.l
The afternoon tea is almost a necessity in
London life. It is considered useful as =
"pick nae up" and it serves an admirable
purpose in the social system. 1t costs the
household hardly any trouble or expense. It
brings people together in the easiest possible
way for ten minutes an hour, just as their
engagements or fancies may settle it. A cup
of tea at the right moment does for the 7ir-
tuous reveler all that Falstaff claims for a
good sherris sack, or at least the first half of
its "two-fold operation:" sit ascends me into
the brain; dries me there all the foolish and
dull and crudy vapors which environ it;
makes it apprehensive, quick, forgetive, full
of nimble, fiery and delectable shapes, which
delivered over to the voice, the tongue, which
is the birth, becomes excellent wit"
But it must have the right brain to work
upon, and doubt if there is any brain to
which it is SO congenial and from which il
brings SO much as that of frst-rate Lon
don old lady. 1 came away from the great
city with the feeling that the most complex
product of civilization was nowhere else de-
veloped to such perfection. The octogenari-
an Londoness has been in society-let us say
the highest society-all her days. She is as
tough as an old macaw, or she would not
have lasted SO long. She has seen and talked
with all the celebrities of three generations,
all the beauties of at least half dozen de-
cades. Her wits have been kept bright by
constant use, and as she is free of speech it
requires some courage to face her. Yet no.
body can be more agreeable, even to young
persons, than one of these precious old dowa-
gers. A great beauty is almost certainly
| thinking how she looks while one is talking
with her; an authoress is waiting to have
one praise her book; but a grand old lady,
who loves London society, who lives in it,
who understands young people and all sorts
of people, with her high-colored recollec-
tions of the past and her grand maternal in
terests in the new generation, is the best of
companions, especially over cup of tea just
strong enough to stir up her talking ganglions.

A Word About catarrh.

SIT is the mucous membrane, that wonderful
semi fluid envelope surrounding the deicat tissues
of the air and food passages that catarrh makes its
stronghold Once established, it eats into the very
vitals and renders life but long-drawn breath of
misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing,
trammeling the power of speech, destroying the
faculty of SMELL tainting the breath and killing
the refined pleasures Of taste. Insidiously, by
creeping on from a simple cold in the head, it as

bones eating through the delicate coats and caus-
ing inflammation, sIoughing and death. Nothing

mated sufferings, leading to fatal termination.

SOME ImPRESSIVE FACTS.

| SOME AMPRE ESSBVE FACVSs
The more 'thigh Hcense'' is tried the more
| satisfactory it appears to be. It keeps the
liquor traffic within bounds and it brings
| much money into the public treasury.
Mr.. D. Bethune Dufield Of Michigan has
| collected some facts which strikingly show
| the benefits of high license. Michigan tried
prohibition, and under the prohibitory law
| the State had in 1874 6, ,444 saloons, or one
| for every 207 inhabitants. In May, 1875, a
| law was passed which required every retail
sellers of spirituous or mixed liquors to
| dealer $500, and every retail or wholesale
| dealer in malt liquors alone 5000. In 1876,
| one year after the law went into effect, the
| returns showed that the number of dealers
had been reduced from 6, 444 to 4, 1857, de-
| crease of 1, 1,577. In 1877 the returns showed
| only 1906 dealers, further reduction of
971. In 1882, six years after the law had
gone into effect, there were in the State only
&, 3,461 saloons, one to every 536 of the
population. Here was a decrease since 1874
of 1883 saloons, nearly so per cent. All
this had been accomplished in spite of the
| increase of population. If the ratio of sa-
| looms to population which existed under the
| prohibition law had continued under the
tax law, the State would have had, in 1882,
s,966 saloons, instead of 3,461, and would
have to-day 10000 saloons instead of less
| than 5000. The revenue to the State under
the tax law has been mp to date So, 1855, ,S21.
Illinois has had high license law but about
three years, but its results have been cheering.
There were in the State in 1888 about Is, 900
saloons, from which the State received a
revenue of about $500, 900, license of $52
each Sixteen months after the law went
into effect the number of saloons had been
reduced to 5000, and the revenue derived
from that source increased to "a, SOC, 900. In
that brief period 4, 600 saloons had been wip-
ed out of existence. In Chicago alone over
], ZOO disappeared in one year.
Facts like these speak for themselves. and
speak very forcibly. High license is GER
ia My the most effective way of fighting
'trum' that has yet been found.
